Most Recent Note - 3/19/2012 12:10:23 PM G - Holding its ground near its 52-week high, extended from its prior base. Disciplined investors do not chase extended stocks and always limit losses if ever any stock falls more than -7% from their purchase price. A considerable gain on more than 7 times average volume helped ALLT rise from an orderly 13-week base and trigger a technical buy signal as it was featured in the 3/13/12 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 2/23/12 high plus 10 cents.

Most Recent Note - 3/19/2012 1:10:03 PM Y - Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point based on its 4/19/11 high plus 10 cents. It has recently wedged to new high territory and avoided distributional losses on higher volume since volume-driven gains on 2/27 & 2/28 cleared an earlier base pattern. Fundamentals are strong however the Computer Software - Gaming group has a low rank (not good concerning L criteria) and waning ownership by top-rated funds is a concern with respect to the I criteria. A volume-driven gain into new high territory may help clinch a convincing technical buy signal. Last noted in the 4/19/11 mid-day report - "Since long ago dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/09/09 it went through a long consolidation including slumps below its 200 DMA line before rebounding with volume-driven gains in recent weeks to challenge and rise above its 2009 highs. This China-based Computer Software - Gaming firm has a strong annual earnings (A criteria) history." >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 10/9/2009. Click here.

Most Recent Note for AAPL - 3/19/2012 12:05:38 PM Perched at its all-time high today. It could go on to produce more climactic gains, however, this well-known tech leader is very extended from any sound base pattern, making it a risky candidate.

Most Recent Note for CECE - 3/19/2012 12:12:28 PM Churning heavy volume after a spurt of volume-driven gains to a new 52-week high. The 3/09/12 mid-day report noted - "Gapped up and hit a new 52-week high today with a considerable volume-driven gain. Recent quarterly comparisons showed greatly improved earnings but the lack of sales revenues growth and erratic annual earnings (A criteria) history are fundamental flaws. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration under the fact-based system unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied."

Most Recent Note for CKSW - 3/19/2012 12:17:02 PM Hitting another new high today with above average volume behind a second consecutive gain. Last noted in the 3/02/12 mid-day report _ "Volume-driven gains this week helped it break out of a 9-month base pattern, technically clear of all resistance due to overhead supply. Its 50 DMA line acted as support since noted in the 2/10/12 mid-day report - 'Reported earnings +114% on +30% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Earnings rose +89% on +32% sales revenues for the latest quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Prior quarterly and annual earnings (A criteria) history has been below the investment system's guidelines. Guidelines also suggest avoiding low priced stocks unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied. This Israeli Computer Software - Enterprise firm survived but failed to impress since noted in the 7/23/09 mid-day report.'"

Most Recent Note for DPZ - 3/19/2012 12:21:24 PM Gapped up today after holding its ground and wedging higher since the previously noted gap up gain with heavy volume for a new 52-week high which cleared an 11-week "double bottom" base pattern on 2/28/12. The 3/05/12 mid-day report noted - "Recent quarters shown better than +25%* earnings however sales revenues increases have been sub par. Annual earnings (A criteria) showed a downturn in FY '07 and '08."*

Most Recent Note for DSW - 3/19/2012 12:25:21 PM Quietly consolidating near all-time highs with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply. Recent quarterly comparisons and earnings had improved greatly, but the Oct '11 period showed earnings +11% on +8% sales revenues, below the guidelines of the fact-based system, and a downturn in FY '08 & '09 annual earnings (A criteria) history is another fundamental flaw.

Most Recent Note for MAIN - 3/19/2012 12:38:21 PM It has steadily advanced in recent weeks and it is extended from any sound base. Last noted in the 1/31/12 mid-day report - "Technically it broke out on 11/30/11 with a volume-driven gain and it has been wedging to new 52-week and all-time highs in recent weeks with small gains lacking great volume conviction. It completed Public Offerings on 3/22/11 and 10/19/11. Quarterly comparisons have shown strong sales revenues and earnings increases satisfying the C criteria. A downturn in FY '09 earnings is a flaw concerning the A criteria."

Most Recent Note for MEOH - 3/19/2012 12:44:56 PM Considerable gain today has it challenging its 52-week high with no overhead supply remaining to hinder its progress.

Most Recent Note for ODFL - 3/19/2012 1:12:11 PM Perched at its 52-week high today after recently wedging further from any sound base. No resistance remains due to overhead supply.

Completed an additional Public Offering on 2/03/11.

Most Recent Note for VRSK - 3/19/2012 1:29:39 PM Adding to its recent spurt of volume-driven gains and touching another new 52-week high today. It did not form a proper base since prior mid-day reports noted - "No resistance due to overhead supply, but it is extended from any sound base.

Prior comparisons were at or just under the +25% minimum earnings guideline while it showed slight sales and earnings acceleration, and its annual earnings (A criteria) history is good. Patient investors may watch for secondary buy points to possibly develop and be noted, rather than chasing it while too extended from a proper base pattern."
